The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Ontogeny of long distance migration (2014, methodology): “Details on the post-breeding migrations of satellite-tracked adult turtles were obtained from published maps following the methodology of Hays and Scott (2013).”
Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “…(see Section 4.1) (Hays et al. 2010a, Casale & Mariani 2014), as the distance from major rookeries to the western Mediterranean is less than the migration ceiling (maximum migration distance: 2150 km) known for the species (Hays & Scott 2013) and hence recurrent migration would be possible.”
Different male vs. female breeding periodicity helps mitigate offspring sex ratio skews in sea turtles (2014, background): “While these are reasonable values to assume as a starting point (Hays and Scott, 2013; Schofield et al., 2013b), we will show later that the key conclusions from the model are relatively insensitive to the exact values used.”
The accuracy of Fastloc‐GPS locations and implications for animal tracking (2014, background): “For example, many studies have tracked sea turtles (reviewed in Hays & Scott 2013).”
